Birthday Weekend part two

So Saturday rolls around...... We get to my moms house & as we walk in the back door she had the whole dinning room decorated! She told me she didn't have time that she would decorate when we got there, sneaky sneaky her! :) It was so pretty & my cake was awesome, I loved every bit of everything. Mr. Estep, my mom, sister & I all went outside & did a small photo shoot. It was such a BEAUTIFUL day! Mr. Estep & my baby sister went swimming while I sun soaked on the porch watching them. & Watching Sophie (our dog) play with my mom's doggy. It was such a great day! My beautiful mom & wonderful step dad got me an awesome Google Android! (I don't have a picture, but will post one soon.) Otherwise please enjoy these photo's from our awesome day!

So day two was just as great as day one, thanks everyone for reading!

Birthday Weekend part one

Although my birthday isn't until Monday Mr. Estep wanted to do something for me that Friday & my mom wanted to have me a family birthday party that Saturday. So I got an entire weekend dedicated to me! : )

Mr. Estep waited until I went into the bathroom Friday morning then hollered for me to come out. As I walked through the hallway I could see the lights was off & there was a huge ice cream cake sitting on the dinning room table lit up with candles! Mr. Estep was standing there holding our camera singing happy birthday. It was so sweet. & It didn't end there. There was a small pink bag sitting beside the cake........ See pictures below for more details!

I loved everything about that day, Mr. Estep is the best! <3

Surprise

As some of you may know my 20th birthday is September 5th, which is less than a week away! Exciting, I know. Mr. Estep & I headed off to TN for the big night race at Bristol Motor Speedway. On the way we had to make a quick stop at our local walmart to pick up a few things, like pop, ect. I checked out & went on to the car but Mr. Estep had something to do. As I waited in the car I heard something coming from behind the car! It was Mr. Estep hiding my gift away in the trunk until he could get it home after the race in a better hiding place. :) So I wouldn't see what kind of box the gift was in to tell what it was he put it in a sock. So its a little box, small enough to fit in Mr. Estep's sock anyways. Its now hiding in the closet far out of my sight. Needless to say I am excited. My Mom & Step Dad also already have my gift bought. I told them I don't know what I want, so surprise me. Usually I just tell them what I want or give them an idea. So its pretty exciting to see what they have for me as well. :)

With that being said Happy Birthday to all the September babies! My little sister's birthday is exactly two weeks away from mine. Shhh, we wont say on here what Mr. Estep & I plan on getting her, because she might read it. ;)

Diabetes, leg cramps, knee pain

That's what my daily life has turned into these past few weeks. It started out with slight barely just noticeable knee pain. It has turned into full on leg cramps along with knee pain, its beginning to take over. Mr. Estep & I went to the first day of the Nascar race for this weekend & had to end our trip short due to my leg pain. It was so bad I was almost in tears. Needless to say tomorrow I am going to take some aleve before we leave for the second day of the race & hope for the best. This time weather or not it hurts I am going to tough it through. :)

There's racing, then there's BRISTOL!

Mr. Estep took me to my first ever Nascar race back in March. It was a blast to say the least. Loud, fast, big crowds, the wave in the crowd, ect ect ect! So now we are going back this weekend, for my first ever night race at Bristol Motor Speed Way!!!! There is a chance of rain though. Pooooo! If it rains & they cannot keep the track dry that means no race & no getting our money back!!!!! & We bought tickets for BOTH Friday & Saturday. So everyone lets hope the rain shies away for all us Nascar fans. Oh & one last thing... GO DALE JR!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Furniture & Appliances

Mr. Estep & I bought our first washer & dryer during tax season. We put 500 down on them & have been paying them off monthly. With only 110 dollars left to pay we are starting to look into Living room suites! (How exciting!!!!) Our couch came with our apartment & our chair was given to us from Mr. Estep's Dad. They are comfy & go well in our living room. But lets face it, its time for a new suite! The store Mr. Estep & I got our washer & dryer from take down payments & let you pay monthly. It helps build up your credit through them, which is a big plus! We checked out all they had (which is awesome stuff) & we both liked so many different ones! Mr. Estep was a big fan of a really nice rust brown leather suite (it was gorgeous) but I quickly reminded him that with our fur babies this couch could easily be scratched. So we kept looking. I found a really nice green suite but reminded myself that green doesn't always go with everything. We both talked about it & have decided between a suite that is between a tan to a brown color. Here are a few I have in mind. I will update when we make our final choice!

Love, Commitment, Honor

That is what these two rings I wear on my left hand ring finger stand for. And everytime I look at them, I smile. Yes, wedding rings are very beautiful & sparkly. But they are much more than that, the meaning behind the ring is the most beautiful of all. The reason "most" people wear their wedding rings on their left hand ring finger is because of the belief that the main vein in the finger went straight to the heart. In some cultures the woman wears a plain band on her right hand until the day she gets married & then switches it to her left hand. Its really easy to see why a ring can hold so much behind it. Its a circle, which never ends.
